Hi,

I withdraw my question how one could unload the contacts in the FR to
vCard format :-)

Converting my old CSV based cellphone contacts to vCard with the KDE 
Kaddressbook
tool let me think that the correct place for the 'master database' of my
contacts is not the FR itself, but the Kaddressbook tool itself; the internal 
format
of Kaddressbook is already vCard 3.0 and it's just easy to copy it over
to the FR and load it there as:

$ scp ~/.kde/share/apps/kabc/std.vcf [EMAIL PROTECTED]:.
$ ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]

# DISPLAY=:0.0 export DISPLAY
# addressbook ./std.vcf

that's all; before loading the contacts in the FR I'm just dropping the
old database with sqlite3 as described in the Wiki with a small script;

the problem with vCard 3.0 are the mangled non-ASCII chars of the
UTF-8 input file; and as well the NICKNAME is not filled in from the
file into the contact; the file reads for example:

BEGIN:VCARD
CLASS:PUBLIC
FN:Lina Maria Lozano Manchola
N:Lozano Manchola;Lina Maria;;;
NICKNAME:Linchen
REV:2008-10-12T12:41:20Z
TEL;TYPE=CELL:+49.......
TEL;TYPE=HOME:+57.......
UID:Lij1Mm4v3L
VERSION:3.0
END:VCARD

but 'Linchen' does not get inserted into the FR contact field 'Nickname';

any idea? thx
